Academics
Discovery and Learning
The Cambridge program at Nairobi Jaffery Academy places an emphasis on every aspect of student growth and development, while meeting state requirements. Suitable class sizes and exceptional, qualified teachers allow us to offer a comfortable and inclusive educational environment, while ensuring each student receives the individualized attention and support they need.
Early Years Program
Welcome to our EYFS, where curiosity blossoms and learning begins with joy. Our unique play-based and hands-on curriculum encourages children to explore, imagine, and discover while building confidence and a lifelong love for learning.
Every day is filled with discovery, laughter, and moments that shape bright futures a wonderful beginning for every child’s learning journey.
We welcome families to be part of a community where every child is valued, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential.
Primary School Years
The Cambridge framework provides curricula for the key subjects of English (or English as an Additional Language), Mathematics and Science. Other subjects are based upon the English National Curriculum. They include Art, Geography, History, ICT (Computers), Physical Education, and Personal and Social Education. Swahili and Arabic as a second language is taught from Year 1.
The Cambridge programmes provide statements of content, knowledge, skills and understanding, and attainment target levels for all the subjects we teach. There is a huge range of resources available to assist teachers and the school purchases widely but particularly from the UK.
However, academic subjects are only half of the story. Where we believe we excel is in putting the child and his or her needs and situation first. So not only do we recognise that each child is individual, but also that every day is different and each provides another opportunity for success and happiness.
Secondary School Years
The Secondary Section at Nairobi Jaffery Academy offers a dynamic and nurturing environment where students are encouraged to take ownership of their learning. Our curriculum is designed to provide both academic rigour and holistic development, ensuring that learners are well prepared for the world beyond school.
In Years 7 to 9, students follow the Cambridge Lower Secondary Curriculum, which builds a strong foundation across a broad range of subjects. From Year 10 to Year 13, we offer a hybrid system that combines both Cambridge and Edexcel pathways, giving students the flexibility to pursue subjects that best align with their strengths, interests, and future aspirations.
Teaching and learning at Nairobi Jaffery Academy are rooted in student-centred approaches, where learners actively engage through inquiry, collaboration, and reflection. Our teachers use Assessment for Learning strategies to provide meaningful feedback, support progress, and empower students to become confident, independent, and motivated learners.
